The game against the reigning Italian giants has left a sour taste in the mouth of the owner of the Udinese outfit who has gone on to state his disappointment.
Udinese have been going through a unique phase in their history as they look to contest in the Serie A following sales of many of their top stars. This season, they have sold the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mauricio-Isla-c24922 to Juventus. Whereas previously they
had quality within their squad upon the start of the season, the only big name that is left in this squad for the current season is that of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Di-Natale-c6306, who is at the twilight of his career.
In the season before they sold Isla and Asamoah, they had also sold http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, however, the side remained one containing quality, and they proved that they could perform even without Isla, as they finished third in the Serie A last term.
However, Francesco Guidolin has had to admit that things are not as favourable as they once were and he is under the impression that the squad is not full of quality as it once was.
In their game against Juventus, barring aside the issue of quality, Udinese were dealt a huge blow against the holding champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sebastian-Giovinco-c32724 before the 15 minute mark.
Pozzo was distraught after the incident and has blamed the referee for continuing to do the same mistakes over and over again. He went on to state that this has happened before as well, and he stated:
“We have this referee who already came here twice. Last time he sent off Gokhan Inler for a debatable reaction foul. It’s a shame, as he has no balance and ruins games.”
He remarked that Juventus beating Udinese was possible but he stated that the red card changed the face of the match, and remarked:
“Juventus winning in Udine can happen, but deciding the match after 15 minutes does nobody any favours, including Juve. The red card was completely unnecessary. Before making a decision like that, it requires a little common sense and balance.”
Pozzo lamented the fact that officials at such a high level were showing such signs of incompetence.
